Without a doubt, a day in the life of Kate Middleton is more exciting than, say, the life of any of the rest of us. But! On occasion, some of those stuffy royal events the duchess is attending look, well, super boring. And once in a while Kate just can't hide her ennui. It's true! But honestly, can we blame her? Not at all. She may be a royal, but she's still human, after all ...

Part of being a public figure is going to functions and seeming, we guess, interested in things. But sometimes, it's just not possible. (Remember "A History of Obama Feigning Interest in Mundane"?) We get it, Kate (and Obama). Like we said, they're only human.

From looking like she was counting down the minutes until an event was over to borderline falling asleep, here are all the times Kate Middleton looked bored beyond words. It isn't all champagne wishes and caviar dreams. Sometimes being a princess can be pretty damn mundane.
